I felt so trapped I am so young, yet I couldn't figure out what I had to give One day I want to get out, I thought But I couldn't find what I had to give Walking around, I could see everyone beginning to spread their wings Finding their power, their magic, their tricks All their hands and eyes glowed And then there was me, figuring out what I had to give I felt like I had nothing My drive was beginning to die away Maybe I will be here forever, maybe my wings will never grow But I thought about what I loved most in the world So I opened my mouth and notes were beginning to fall out, and music was in the air Suddenly words began to form and I wrote them down I looked at my hands and I saw them start to glow I could feel my eyes shimmering And my tiny wings beginning to spread It wasn't that I discovered something, I unraveled something that was already there A talent finally worth giving And so I found out what I had to give

What I Had to Give
I felt so trapped I am so young, yet I couldn't figure out what I had to give One day I want to get out, I thought But I couldn't find what I had to give Walking around, I could see everyone beginning to spread their wings Finding their power, their magic, their tricks All their hands and eyes glowed And then there was me, figuring out what I had to give I felt like I had nothing My drive was beginning to die away Maybe I will be here forever, maybe my wings will never grow But I thought about what I loved most in the world So I opened my mouth and notes were beginning to fall out, and music was in the air Suddenly words began to form and I wrote them down I looked at my hands and I saw them start to glow I could feel my eyes shimmering And my tiny wings beginning to spread It wasn't that I discovered something, I unraveled something that was already there A talent finally worth giving And so I found out what I had to give
